Abstract: Ludwigia octovalvis (Jacq.) P.H. Raven is a terrestrial tropical plant in Malaysia having the ability to uptake and accumulate arsenic in their tissue. The effectiveness of arsenic phytoremediation by L. octovalvis in pilot reed bed system using arsenic spiked sand was conducted to determine the feasibility using this plant in a large scale of phytoremediation. The depth of arsenic spiked sand in a reed bed system was 10 cm with another two fine and medium gravels layer below, each at 10 cm depth. All treatments were carried out without addition of fertilizer, bacteria or aeration. The higher arsenic uptake and accumulation reached 528.5 ± 68.3 mg/kg in leaves of L. octovalvis after 42 days of exposure at arsenic concentration of 39 mg/kg. Based on the translocation factor (TF) and bioaccumulation factor (BF) values, indicating phytoextraction has role process in arsenic phytoremediation using L. octovalvis in a pilot reed bed system using spiked sand. The effectiveness of arsenic phyt

Abstract: The remarkable ability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to adapt and thrive in wide variety of environments is due in part to its extensive genetic versatility, which contributes significantly to its potential pathogenicity. Depending on the environmental conditions and the immune status of the host, P.aeruginosa can be a quiescent colonizer, a case of chronic infections, or highly virulent invader during acute infections. The study is to assess the antibacterial effect of a new special solution made by a mixture of sidr infusion (Ziziphussspina- Christi (L) var. inermisBoiss) with Hydrogen peroxide. In this study, P.aeruginosa isolates exhibited high resistance rate toward Cefataxime (CTX:30mg), Ceftazidme (Ca:30mg). Gentamicin (CN: 10 mg) and Carbenicillin (Py: 100mg). while Norfloxacin (NOR:10mg), Tobramycin (TOB:10mg) and Amikacin (Ami:30 mg) inbition zone of sensitive isolate in disc diffusion test were determined at (22.16 and 20) mm respectively. We was tested their decontamination usi
